J64’s arrival marks the fifth calf born into J pod in just over a year, following the births of J62 in late 2024 and J63 earlier in 2025. With the Southern Resident population hovering around 74 whales, every successful birth is a crucial step toward recovery, researchers say.

Nous sommes tous très enthousiastes au bureau national après une semaine extraordinaire passée à Ottawa à nouer des liens, élaborer des stratégies, apprendre et nous amuser. Rien ne remplace le fait d'apprendre à se connaître en personne, et nous savons que cela nous rendra plus forts.

All of us from the National office are buzzing after an amazing week of connecting, strategizing, learning, and having fun in Ottawa. Nothing replaces getting to know each other in person, and we know that we’ll be stronger as an organization because of it.

Le projet de loi C-5 pourrait compromettre la nature. Adopté à la hâte au nom de la relance économique, il ignore la crise qui touche nos forêts, notre faune, notre eau et nous-mêmes. 🪓 « Un Canada fort » devrait signifier protéger ce qui nous fait vivre. 👉https://buff.ly/ippYzZr

Bill C-5 might be trading nature away. The Building Canada Act was rushed through in the name of economic recovery, but it ignores the crisis facing our forests, wildlife, water – and us. 🪓 “Canada Strong” should mean protecting what sustains us.👉https://buff.ly/CcZdM5S
